Lets get you postpartum ready!
Hi!
I'm Adriana Lozada, and since 2007, I’ve been helping new and expectant parents navigate their births and 4th-trimester experiences.
As the creator and host of the Birthful podcast, I’ve talked with hundreds of maternity professionals and new parents about every postpartum topic you can think of!
We've dug deep into the transition into parenthood, the biological needs of babies, navigating breastfeeding a newborn, understanding the support you'll need, your recovery, vaginal rehab, and so much more.
I bring to this course all the heart and mind knowledge gleaned from these conversations, all the hours pouring over the books and research, along with the copious experience from one-on-one support with my own clients (and of course, my own experience as a mom!) to help you thrive with your newborn in all aspects of your postpartum journey!
What can you expect to learn during Thrive with Your Newborn?:

People rave about this class!
“Adriana Lozada brings a delightful combination of joy and intelligence to every discussion. Her topics are pertinent and deep, classic but freshly spun. Postpartum parents need more tender loving care with smart solutions and fast. Here is a gem of a resource – one that you can trust to touch your heart in a beneficial way today.”
“I found the course to be incredibly helpful in the first few weeks of my baby’s life and it gave my partner and I language to work from. I highly recommend this course and tell everyone I know about it.”
“I wish I did the class before my baby came! Instead, I struggled through those first few weeks (…) Early motherhood is so confusing and intense, and it would have been much better if I had the knowledge and expectations (taught in the course) from the beginning. I’d definitely recommend first time parents to take the course! In my understanding, this type of information isn’t usually covered anywhere else (not in birth classes, hospital pamphlets, or appointments with midwives as far as I can tell).”
“I am now 6 weeks postpartum and really felt that this course helped prepare my mindset for caring for my baby and allow me to feel more confident, especially when it comes to reading his cues and what to expect for sleep patterns (or lack thereof!).”
“It’s easy to get wrapped up in preparing for birth or feel overwhelmed and not know where to start in learning about life with a newborn and this course solves all that for you! Adriana’s experience really shines through in the way she presents so much great info and brings it together in one place. For us the course was true to its name and has really helped us thrive with our newborn. I have recommended this to all my pregnant friends!”
“This course was amazing. My husband and I went through each video together (sometimes twice) and Adriana helped us get on the same page with our expectations for the first months after our baby was born. I can’t express how much stress was prevented through the knowledge we gained in Thrive With Your Newborn. I highly recommend this course!”
